Progressive Change, Perspective, and the Past

One of the biggest struggles people have is in coming to terms with apparent problems, whether they be current problems, or problems from the past.While we might be able to grasp the concept of evolution or progressive change intellectually, when the experience becomes uncomfortable it becomes more difficult to rationalize.In this episode, Thom answers questions from listeners seeking resolution to problems that seem too big to be solved, or that have gone beyond the time when something can be done.It’s a reminder that perspective isn’t just an intellectual process, and that it’s a byproduct of consciousness.  Episode Highlights:[00:45] Q - Why do Things Seem to be Getting Worse?[00:55] A - Battle of Bedtime and Entertainment[02:40] Evolution and Corrections[04:40] Meditation Broaden Our Awareness[06:59] Mother is at Home[09:09] Change is Not Optional[11:53] Embrace the Change[13:51] Q - How do we Handle Grief about the Changing Climate?[14:06] A - Human Adaptation Throughout History[15:48] Infrastructure and Global Warming[17:33] Be Active[19:41] Embrace Adaptation and Innovation[21:43] Q - Can it Be Useful to Revisit the Past?[22:07] A - Time Is a Contiguous Continuum[24:16] Have Proper Perspective[24:46] Embrace Future PerspectiveUseful [email protected] https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/
